Self care is kind of Alex Elle's thing. When we asked the D.C.-based storyteller and wellness consultant what wellness really means to her, she had this to say: "It means taking care of myself so that I can take care of those around me. Filling up myself, so I can pour into others."
Alex's primary self-care practice is writing but she's also the host of the Hey, Girl. podcast, the creator of Today I Affirm: A Journal That Nurtures Self Care, and a vocal advocate for wellness in its many forms. A quick scroll through Alex's Instagram feed is like a therapy session you didn't know you needed, filled with uplifting messages and mantras to live by.
The mantra that's most resonating with her right now? "I forgive myself for shrinking into boxes that do not belong to me." "It links back to wellness in general — being able to self forgive for whatever reason, big or small, is something that a lot of folks have trouble doing."
Alex has a full life, carving out time for her husband and two daughters, Charleigh and Ila, inspiring her hundreds of thousands of followers on Instagram, and playing host to a captive podcast audience. But we asked her for her five favorite ways to pause for a second and take care of herself. Here are her picks.
